Comment on Linode / Akamai US-EAST is down

Comments

They said it started with a power outage, but I thought Linode data centers ran on UPS and didn't have power outages? And, given the length of this outage, the problem seems more serious.

The power outage affected their HVAC system, so it seems to me like the entire DC had to be shutdown, so bringing everything back up from a black start seems to be the situation.
